Thread: Could Australia leave the AU and become Stralia?

-The controversial referendum in the United Kingdom which has resulted in Britain leaving the EU could have massive ramifications in Australia. There are growing calls today for Australia leave the AU, which would quite literally mean the letters AU being removed from Australia's official name, with our country henceforth being known as Stralia.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull wouldn't comment publicly on the suggestion, but sources tell Broken News that the PM has secretly established a working party to consider a combined referendum: first to vote on Australia becoming a republic, and second to leave the AU, thus becoming the Republic of Stralia. The group is also considering a more radical change, and changing the name to Straya, since it is already known as this by both bogans and high-brow "Strayans" alike.

Constitutional experts have told Broken News that the surprising result in the United Kingdom on #Brexit shows that anything is possible, when put to a public poll. "Don't scoff at suggestions Australia could leave the AU," once expert told us. "It would be one of the simplest constitution changes, simply requiring a texta to cross out the AU on all instances of Australia everywhere in the country..."

And from now on we will refer to them as Sissies rather than Aussies. All the Cardinals say yes and Amen.

Well, if you remove the AU, there it is.

To differentiate clearly between Aussies and ssies the proper pronunciation should be sissies. So I say Australians out of Au !
